Hives, also known as urticaria or welts, are skin reactions characterized by swollen areas that appear in various shapes and sizes. Recognizable by their well-defined structure, hives typically feature a pale, raised center surrounded by a red border, accompanied by itching sensations. Here's what you need to know about hives in your baby:

Appearance and Duration:

  • Hives can manifest as a single welt or a cluster, and they may shift locations on your baby's skin.
  • The duration of hives can vary, lasting from a few minutes to a few days. In some cases, hives may persist for months.

Itching Sensation:

  • It's common for hives to be accompanied by itching, causing discomfort for your baby.

Non-Contagious Nature:

  • Despite their appearance, hives are not contagious. They result from the body's release of histamine due to various triggers.

Hives are a common skin reaction, and while they may be unsettling, they are generally harmless. If your baby experiences persistent or severe hives, consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable to identify potential triggers and determine an appropriate course of action.
